You are always connected to birds.
A dedicated birder.
I love the top two shots- that gater makes me cringe a bit, though...the bird is much to close!
Wonderful birds that I don't get to see very often!
awesome turkeys! love the egret preening shot, too! you named several blogs i enjoy, too!
Hi Eileen! Another great and scenic trip! I had no idea that Florida had so many beautiful and colorful birds!
Terrific shots! I really like the great Egret preening and the Anghina drying out! Sweet deer too!
This looks like a place I'd enjoy visiting. Nice photos!
Hi Eileen, What a great assortment of wildlife! I especially like the shot of the Tri-colored Heron with that partially submerged 'gator. Neat! Since I have lived here in Marion County, FL, I haven't seen any Alligators yet. Have a fantastic weekend!
Hallo Eileen!!
What a lovely place to visit!!!Wonderful pictures!!!Beautiful birds!!!Thank you for sharing!!!Have a lovely weekend!!
Dimi...
Thanks for including me in your list of favourite blogs!
Lovely photos, i hope the heron is safe from the gator!
Wonderful array of birds and the alligator is super.
You only see here at the zoo.
Eileen you captured the essences of Florida, and its birds and wildlife perfectly.
Nicely done, happy weekend to you ~:)
Hi Eileen, great that you're linking to my blog.
Thank you, I'm very happy here.
A great selection you show us today Eileen.Florida seems such a wonderful place for birds and photography. Enjoy your weekend of birding.
What a fabulous selection of critters but I'm with you Eileen, that Egret preening shot is a stunner!
Wow, wunderbare Foto`s!
Liebe Grüße,*Manja*
Stunning - such fabulous birds and photos. I hope the alligator was not looking for lunch.
Fantastic sightings, Eileen!
That is quite a lot of birds you saw there.
I believe it is a Great egret, the legs are black.
Enjoy your weekend! :)
Wonderful photos!
I especially like the egrets and heron.
Have a great week-end!

I really enjoyed your pics, Eileen. That deer is so sweet.
Wonderful photos! I love the deer and the preening egret.
Very nice this nature photos.
I love nature and you let some beautiful herons and other birds.
Greetings, Helma
The special type of all is Egret, wonderful.
Another great selection of beautiful birds Eileen. I'm glad you are still sharing your Florida photos. Have a great weekend :)
I don't believe I've seen a tri-colored heron before. Thanks for sharing more of your Florida trip with us. I've enjoyed every post.
Great photos Eileen, love the one with the gator but I'm surprised the birds stay near them...shudder! Have a great week. xx
What a great variety of birds! Deer look cute but you don't want to get too near them around here.
The heron is keeping an eye on the alligator. The preening Great Egret is lovely.
enjoyable walk and photos Eileen; great to pick up on the hawk
I've never seen a tri color heron before.
You sure see lots of different kinds of birds and take beautiful photos of them all.
Great series Eileen!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Great photos, Eileen... The gator made me shiver--but I loved seeing the birds --and of course, the deer. That is a great photo of the Anhinga.
Hugs,
Betsy
Never a disappointment to see your wonderful photos. The Florida Park was filled with the best!
Myakka is fairly close to us. ( when we're in FL) ..and weve been there a couple of times. your pictures are lovely. I've never seen turkeys or deer there...you are so good at spotting nature!
Indeed a great series. What variety you get to see everyday!
Beautiful Egrets, Herons and Gators! I love the Anhinga too.
es ist ja viel vertreten was es in der Tierwelt gibt
DANKE für die schönen Bilder
mit einem LG vom katerchen und dem Pauli..mann
lovely area for birding. I have a pair of moorhens in the pond where the Horned grebes use to be. They had two chicks but lately I´ve only seen one. And far out of course. :(
I too like the egret shot. :)
wonderful shots. I thought it was amazing that the bird in the first one doesn't seem too concerned with how close that gator is
une faune merveilleuse
Hi Eileen all the shots re lovely although my favorate is the Egret.
I just came across your blog and love it. The birds are beautiful and the wild turkeys made my day. I've seen a few around here but when I'm driving an unable to get a shot. The alligator shot is precious too :)
Nice mix of photos!
Hi Eileen.... These are great shot's so glad you are sharing them!!
I have never been to Florida, seeing that Alligator makes me have to think about that haha!!
The White Heron is such a beautiful bird!
Nice set of photo's from the stat park!!
Grace
What a beautiful serie! The first one was amasing.
Thank you for sharing :)
Greetings from Huldra in Norway :)
Very nice Florida wildlife shots. It's been so rainy here in south Florida these past two weeks that we have had little chance to get outside.
Great captures Eileen.
As for the hawk...your guess is as good as mine. They're so similar in so many ways, it's rather difficult to ID.
LOVED the very first image of the tri-colored and the gator!!!
Lovely pictures of the herons and egrets! I really have to get to Florida to photograph some day.
/Erik
You saw such a wonderful variety of birds and animals. I like the moorhens...they are so neat. And look at that big old gator! I'm going to look and see where this park is! Sweet hugs!
Great shots of the wildlife you saw on your vacation.
The contrast between the blue of the bird and the red of the weeds is beautiful - and on top of that the gator came into view too! It must have made your day -it would mine:)
